  1. That’s gonna be game. Helluva season. And Penix is a helluva QB with a helluva story. I hope he wins the whole thing.
  2. Two people can't report. They went up as a group of 3 to try to create confusion in the Dallas D. 70 claims he didn't say anything, so I bet the ref just picked the guy and declared him as the eligible receiver. Not the right way to handle it, but the Lions should also be aware of the rules. None of this is on Dallas, btw. I always get a kick out of other teams screwing something up, getting called on it, and it is always somehow Dallas's fault.
  3. KSA will flood the market like they did in ‘14-15, drive down prices just long enough for most of us to get laid off while a bunch of DUCs are on standby and the remaining skeleton land crews furiously try to extend leases, and then everything will go back to normal in less than a year.
  4. Boycotting the bowl would be some loser mentality bullshit. If you thought you deserved to be in the playoff, then go prove it. Force the AP and Coaches Polls to throw a couple of 1st place votes to create some controversy. Get yourself into the Preseason Top 5 next year so you’re best positioned to make the expanded playoff, even with a couple of losses.
  5. I’m assuming that the Rank #1 at 953,399 is either the Jamail Estate or the McCombs Estate. Surprised at the back half of those point ranges, though.
  6. Nowhere near as hilarious as the Texas to the SEC version. But, I appreciate the effort.
  7. In on a group ticket buy, if we can get our hands on a batch.
  8. Helmets behind Kirk were Michigan, Washington, Texas, Bama. ESPN subliminal messaging.
  9. Probably closer to 1 EST. It starts at noon, but they will have their dog and pony show to milk the ad dollars.
  10. They’re going to “aw, shucks” FSU into the playoff because they won the weakest P5 conference and then we all have to watch FSU get absolutely dumpstered by Washington or Michigan when they could have had a Texas/Michigan or Bama/Michigan slugfest or a Texas/Washington rematch.
  11. We had great football all day and we end it with these two final games being ass.
  12. Is this that “girl math” that all those Instagram memes have been talking about?
  13. Let’s just win the Big 12 and enjoy the rest of the ride.
  14. One loss season, getting snubbed in the championship game selection, and then going on to win a major bowl game would be 2008 all over again. I’d take that.
  15. It absolutely matters that it isn't the same roster and you absolutely get credit in the eyes of recruits if a lot of the guys from the prior roster were a part of the improvement. Recruits want to see player development. Why? Because the NFL wants to see player development. They want to see metrics. "RB1 had X amount of yards on Y amount of carries and Z number of touchdowns before Deion. After Deion, there was a 60% improvement in those numbers." That signals to recruits that they might be able to go from 4 star athlete to 1st or 2nd round pick in 3 or more years at Colorado. It tells recruits that Deion can take a bunch of spares from a 1-11 team and start getting them national attention and in the conversation for awards and draft picks in just one or two years and if he can do that for 2 and 3 star spares, just imagine what he can do for 4 and 5 stars. That matters a ton for future recruiting. So, great, CU got one whole year of excitement, money, and attention. But is there longevity there? Can Deion build a program? Going 4-8 with a completely different team doesn't give anyone any idea if he can develop talent. If anything, we saw him fade down the stretch and lose almost all of the early season momentum, as well as a decline in player performance (not to mention having his stars get banged up while losing). And... This. "It's Division I football! This ain't IMG Academy." Look at none other than Sark at Texas for an example of how establishing a 5 Star Culture over time helps a program. College football isn't plug and play. It's about establishing and keeping long term momentum. He built a roster of mercenary athletes who wanted immediate results and those athletes and recruiting commits are already jumping ship.
  16. The whole “1-11 to 4-8” is pure fool’s gold. He cleared out almost all of the roster and transferred in a bunch of guys. If it was 1-11 to 4-8 with almost the same exact roster, now that’s progress. But this is a brand new 4-8 team. There is no upward momentum to show. Our sample size to evaluate this team is one season, not two. And that one season was bad. Why would 4 and 5 stars serious about winning want to go there? I want Sanders to succeed, but all I saw was regression this season. As it turns out, a lot of recruits saw it, too.
  17. To borrow a quote Raul Julia from Street Fighter: For you, Texas coming to Kyle Field and winning was the most significant day of your life. For Texas, it was Saturday.
  18. The Steve Patterson era was probably the unhealthiest that the athletic department has been in my lifetime.
  19. I mean, it kinda was at the time.
